Chapter 6
The interior of the building was quite eerie. The white walls and floor were very dusty and there was trash everywhere. It seemed like this place hadn't been used for many years. But strangely the lights were on. I look down the hall and see a sign that read "Nurse's Station" "There has to be something for your ankle in there." I say.
We walk to the station and I notice what looks like blood splattered on a window. "What is this place?" Jessica asked completely unaware of what I had had just seen. "Looks like an old hospital." Nick replied. "Um… guys." I stammered pointing to the blood stain. "Please don't tell me that's blood." Jessica said with a look of fear on her face. We can all tell it's obviously blood; Jessica just didn't want to believe it.
"This was a nurse's station; it's not surprising to find blood here." Nick said trying to reassure us. "That's a good point." Jessica agreed. I wanted to believe it was just a random blood stain but I know that's not the case. That stain seemed too fresh….
We walk into the nurse's station and start to look for something to help Jessica's ankle. Nick finds some bandages and rubbing alcohol. I pour some of the alcohol onto the cuts and begin to wrap her ankle. I was doing well considering I've had no medical training. When we felt we did all we could do we left the nurses station. That was when I started hearing voices.
"Guys, do you hear that?" I asked. The voices were loud but we couldn't make out what they were saying. "Sounds like people talking" Jessica replied. "Yes, but I recognize those voices." I say in excitement "It's them!" Nick exclaimed once he realized we were hearing the familiar voices of our missing friends. "Well where's it coming from?" Jessica wondered. "Sounds like it's over there" Nick responded as he pointed towards the hallway to our right.
I couldn't believe it! We found our friends when we weren't even looking for them. So many questions come into my mind. Are they okay? Are all of them here? Were they ever in trouble? Did that blood we saw belong to any of them? Will they even want to see us? There's only one way to answer these questions. Without a word I start running down the hall towards the voices.
